Public bug reported: On my pi3 I have an image with the ubuntu-core snap rev 354 and I get the following netplan configuration file after the first boot:
ubuntu@localhost:~$ cat /etc/netplan/00-initial-config.yaml network: version: 2 ethernets: all: match: name: "*" dhcp4: true This generates the following .networkd file ubuntu@localhost:~$ cat /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-all.network [Match] Name=* [Network] DHCP=ipv4 If I look now at the output of networkctl I see it also tries to manage my mlan0 device which is a WiFi one and should be managed according to the netplan rule: ubuntu@localhost:~$ networkctl IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP 1 lo loopback carrier configured 5 eth1 ether no-carrier configuring 6 eth0 ether routable configured 7 mlan0 wlan no-carrier configuring In summary, the networkd generator inside netplan currently does not limit the generated .network file to tell networkd to only look at ethernet devices but rather tell it to control every device available on the system. Expectation: Specifying a wildcard rule in a netplan configuration file for ethernet devices should tell the configured networking system to only consider ethernet devices and nothing else. ** Affects: nplan (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: On my current pi3 I have with the ubuntu-core snap (rev 354) I get the following netplan configuration file: ubuntu@localhost:~$ cat /etc/netplan/00-initial-config.yaml network: - version: 2 - ethernets: - all: - match: - name: "*" - dhcp4: true + version: 2 + ethernets: + all: + match: + name: "*" + dhcp4: true This generates the following .networkd file ubuntu@localhost:~$ cat /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-all.network [Match] Name=* [Network] DHCP=ipv4 If I look now at the output of networkctl I see it also tries to manage my mlan0 device which is a WiFi one and should be managed according to the netplan rule: - ubuntu@localhost:~$ networkctl - IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP - 1 lo loopback carrier configured - 5 eth1 ether no-carrier configuring - 6 eth0 ether routable configured - 7 mlan0 wlan no-carrier configuring + ubuntu@localhost:~$ networkctl + IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP + 1 lo loopback carrier configured + 5 eth1 ether no-carrier configuring + 6 eth0 ether routable configured + 7 mlan0 wlan no-carrier configuring In summary, the networkd generator inside netplan currently does not limit the generated .network file to tell networkd to only look at ethernet devices but rather tell it to control every device available on the system. + + Expectation: Specifying a wildcard rule in a netplan configuration file + for ethernet devices should tell the configured networking system to + only consider ethernet devices and nothing else. ** Description changed: - On my current pi3 I have with the ubuntu-core snap (rev 354) I get the - following netplan configuration file: + On my pi3 I have an image with the ubuntu-core snap rev 354 and I get + the following netplan configuration file after the first boot: ubuntu@localhost:~$ cat /etc/netplan/00-initial-config.yaml network: version: 2 ethernets: all: match: name: "*" dhcp4: true This generates the following .networkd file ubuntu@localhost:~$ cat /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-all.network [Match] Name=* [Network] DHCP=ipv4 If I look now at the output of networkctl I see it also tries to manage my mlan0 device which is a WiFi one and should be managed according to the netplan rule: ubuntu@localhost:~$ networkctl IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP 1 lo loopback carrier configured 5 eth1 ether no-carrier configuring 6 eth0 ether routable configured 7 mlan0 wlan no-carrier configuring In summary, the networkd generator inside netplan currently does not limit the generated .network file to tell networkd to only look at ethernet devices but rather tell it to control every device available on the system.
